Data messages are received silently, decoded, and delivered to a TMC-enabled navigation system that can offer dynamic route guidance – alerting the driver to a problem on the planned route and calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.
1. Place the wired antennas horizontally in the car using the rubber stickers provided. It is recommended that the antenna be attached to the windscreen. Please note that some car models (especially French) use coated windscreen glass and placing the radio antenna on other windows is therefore recommended on these cars. 2.
